Yes it's true, the Galaxy Quest server is down and dead as the power adapter for the server shorted and needs to be replaced. Once I have saved up the money I will buy a new one. Until then the server will remain offline. The server will come back online as soon as I get a new power adapter hopefully by the end of February. http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1293 http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1293 Thu Jan 01, 1970 10:30 am Care to Spend $15 For a Sex Change?

As 2008 draws to a close we get swamped with a plethora of "Top 10 of 2008" lists covering everything from movies to cars and even the most popular toilet paper.

It's amazing that Blizzard is still so committed to improving their titles even after many, many years. The latest update being to StarCraft.

World of Warcraft continues to dominate the PC games sales this week. Left 4 Dead, Valves new co-operative zombie killing title, has popped into the charts at number 6. This is a great thing to see as a majority of Valves titles are bought electronically over Steam, and thus don't count in the retail sales charts. http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1229 http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1229 Thu Jan 01, 1970 10:30 am Games and Ratings - Why can't we choose?
What is with the Australian Classifications Board? Do they think we are incapable of choosing what is right for ourselves or for kids? They continue to let extreme violence in movies go without so much as a question but when it comes to computer games, whether it is for a PC or a console, they can’t stand any more than a single drop of virtual blood. http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1228 http://www.thelanbox.com/index.php?p=news&post_id=1228 Thu Jan 01, 1970 10:30 am Community Pages - Arriving at a LANBox Near You!
